About Ben

I am a 25 year old uni student who loves animals.

I have had dogs as pets my whole life so they would definitely be my favourite! In saying this I have looked after a couple cats for people in the past.

Currently my family has a 1 year old Border Collie named Archie who you can see in my profile picture. Being a Border Collie, I'm no stranger to going on long walks and running around the park with him to fulfil his daily exercise needs.

I have 4 years experience caring for other peoples animals (large and small!) with my longest stint being for 3 months and I loved every moment of it!

My calendar is relative flexible between work and uni as I'm able to work from home two days a week.

I am studying a double degree in commerce and law with all my classes being online at this stage which gives me more flexibility to looking after your animals.

I am open to any services that may be required in looking after your pets and am happy to pass on testimonies from people who's pets if I've looked after in the past.

House Sitting

Ben was a delight to have sit for us. Ben looked after our very active and attention seeking pup Willow with ease. She is a Kelpie x Boarder Collie and has a stack of energy which Ben has no issues with having a 1 year old Boarder Collie himself. He looked after our pup Willow for a week while we were away and had no issues with her 2 walks, her sleeping on his bed, and her feeding schedule. He also kept us updating while still keeping in mind that we were on holidays. He went above and beyond for us, even bathing Willow when she got herself messy one of the days.

Ben left the house just as he found it, evening stripping the bed and washing on his departure. Very impressed as Willow can make a mess in the house, but no issue for Ben , he made it nice and welcoming for us to come home to.

Oh and off his own back he even did a meet and greet with Willow which was so nice as she got to know him before we left! Stand up move and very much appreciated!!!

If your looking for a great sitter, do not hesitate to contact Ben- legend!!!!
